There are many places with biased police, and they probably would be better off without. In those places one becomes a cop in order to get the graft. I wonder how relevant that motivation is in medical research.

Whenever you go to read a scientific paper, skip to the end and find out who paid for the research! Then decide if you should spend your time reading in entirety.

Dr Jason, the *biggest* current medical issue is the total loss of trust in anything that doctors tell us. We are back in the dark ages.

Check out the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine: https://isom.ca/jom/

It's archives go back to 1967 and it has never taken money from pharma. It has also never been indexed on pubmed or medline due to medical politics (aka: monied vested interests).

What a concept, ethics! Independent third-party should be mandatory for studies.

At my work in Canada, I'm a third-party quality assurance inspector. I'm not allowed to work for the same company that I'm inspecting the work of, to avoid conflict of interest.

How could this not be a thing with something as important as health?

Thank you for shedding light on this issue. I supposedly have high cholesterol, but all my bloodwork is perfect, and my A1C is at 4.4. I went to another doctor who is an ultra-athlete and older; he said everyone wished they had my stats and cholesterol. Older medicine is better. I take nothing because I don't need it. Thanks to a second opinion.
